35ee7e4479 Ensure that empty e820 regions are skipped even at the end of the
memory map.  (We achieve this by setting CF on the last entry if it is
zero-length; this avoids the need to look ahead to see at each entry
if the *next* entry would be both the last entry and zero-length).

This fixes the "0kB base memory" error message upon starting Windows
2003 on a SunFire X2100.

78dd963c1f Check to see if we've reached the end of the map before attempting to
skip past an empty region, otherwise we end up generating an infinitely
long e820 map.  (Yes, there *are* real systems that provide e820 maps
with a zero-length region at the end...)

476d02051f Windows Server 2003 sulks if we feed it an empty region in base memory
as a result of our memory map editing, so strip out any empty regions.

3bd3c13c7b Why should pushal/popal put the registers on the stack in a logical
order?

5ec2b2c251 Cope with regions bigger than 4GB.
We now split e820 regions around ourselves, rather than just
truncating the e820 region.  This avoids the worst-case scenario of
losing all memory over 4GB.

It's more important to get the memory map right now that we're
expecting to still be loaded when the OS starts in several situations
(e.g. Linux with UNDI driver, any OS with iSCSI/AoE boot, etc.).
